What nationals is doing to you girls is horrible.
I really don't understand several points of why you were forced dormancy, so here are a couple of questions I hope you can answer for me.
1. Was it just because you didn't have a corp board that you were forced to be dormant?
At Northwest Missouri State University sororities don't have houses (just floors on an all sorority dorm), therefore we don't have a corp board. I know that we aren't the only school that doesn't have houses, so why would you be forced dormancy just because you didn't have a house? If the new rule is that you must have a house and corp board to be an active chapter, than I guess Kappa Alpha and several other chapters would be out of luck.
2. If the house corp/board situation was causing such problems, why couldn't they just take away your house but still let you be an active chapter?
Like I said, at Northwest sororites don't have houses, but we still manage to have a very active greek system. I'm sure it is different at a school where everyone else has houses and you don't, but you can still be active without one. You could have meetings in an open classroom and hold your philanthropy, sisterhood, and social events at another place. We have had 3 fraternities rebuild their houses in the past 3 or 4 years, and when they are w/o a house they just rent somewhere to hold all of their events. Sisterhood and being active on campus does not require a house, so I can't understand why they made you all go through order.
3. Why does it have to be two years of dormancy?
Is that a rule on your campus or something? I don't see why you couldn't come back tomorrow as an active chapter since nationals is sort of
taking responsibility?
4. Can they undo order/alumnae status?
If you guys are able to be an active chapter again will nationals allow you to become active collegians, or will you still have to be alumnae?
5. How much damage has been done on campus?
Someone mentioned that the damage has been done on campus and rumors had been flying.
How bad is it, and what is being said? I personally know how rumors fly like wildfire in the greek community
, but remember pnm for the next couple of years aren't hearing them. Hopefully with the summer it is all blowing over. When you girls come back actively on campus show them all how strong you were by not letting rumors get to you. My personal motto is "If someone tells me I can't do something, then they just garunteed that it will be done!" Trying to prove someone wrong can be such a great motivator!
Use that way of thinking and come back stronger than you were before this terrible situation! You all will feel great after proving the disbelievers wrong!
6. And since nationals did admit their mistake, why can't you get your house back? And why can't they help you form a corp board?
Isn't one of the responsiblities of nationals to help chapters with things like corp boards, and other things that the average college student has no experinece in dealing with?? If I were nationals than I would be giving you girls your house back and helping you form a corp board instead of trying to sweep a scandal under the rug!!!!!
7. Is nationals that stupid to think you girls wouldn't have found a way to get the word out to Sigma Kappas across the country?
I am so proud for you girls getting the word out. I know if I were in your position I would be doing everything in my power to get the word out to as many people as possible. I wish you all the best of luck and I will do anything I can to help (I've always loved being part of a protest for a good cause!)
Just remember girls, you have tousands and thousands of sisters out there that care for you and are behind you even though we don't know you all because we share such a sacred mystic bond!
SLAM,
Jessica--Kappa Alpha
Forced dormancy
I am so sorry that this happened to your chapter and I wish you all the best. 
Your praise and support has made the dormancy a little easier to swallow. Thanks.
